Tech Review: Far Cry Primal PS4 (Ubisoft)

Stone age hipsters couldn’t dress for shit, but at least they knew how to arrive in style. Rolling into battle on the back of a sabre tooth tiger will get your enemies quaking in their loincloths.
Far Cry Primal is similar to its predecessors in some ways: use stealth or brute force to storm forts and open new areas of the map. But Ubisoft has turned the clock back with this instalment, creating a world where nature, not human warfare, is the dominant force.
You play a warrior circa 10,000 BC, trying to unite your tribe and conquer rival savages. Like the Himalayan plateaus of Far Cry 4, the landscape looks incredible. Roam waterfalls, forest, marsh and mountain, encountering ferocious predators, including wolves, big cats, bears and, um, badgers. As you beef up your skills, tame these beasts to follow your command like a psychopathic Doctor Dolittle.
There’s no multiplayer mode, unfortunately, but broadband was terrible in 10,000 BC.
